In addition to the 359,000 physicians, the payment models will benefit more than 12.3 million Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries.

Patrick Conway, M.D., acting principal deputy administrator and director of the CMS Innovation Center said, “These models demonstrate CMS’ commitment to partner with providers to improve care for patients. My mother and over 12 million other Medicare beneficiaries are now cared for by doctors and other clinicians in payment models that focus on better health outcomes and coordinated, high-quality care.”
